Having a "local" as your tour guide is the best, especially when it is your friend!
Saturday morning we got up and headed to the Saturday Market with H. and Malloree. Madeline went fishing with her Papa and Matthew stay home with Nanny Georgia. The market was bustling with all kinds of vendors, craftors and food. (Think Thurmont on a smaller scale.)
After walking the market for a while we headed over to the Anchorage Brewing Company where we met Louie's sister Jackie and son for lunch. I had a draught root beer and fish and chips for lunch. At home the fish is usually New Zealand Cod, here it is Alaskan Rock or Halibut - I went for the halibut. It was really good along with the Parmesan Fries. The building also houses the Imaginarium, an interactive museum for kids but we will visit that when Madeline is with us.
The center street of Anchorage was closed for the Fireman's Challenge so we headed over there next. They did some safety demos and several of the surrounding Stations did an obstacle course in full gear. The girls loved it, especially when they turned on the fire hose.
After that we headed back to the market for some more shopping and rounded out our day with some kettle corn. I got some great pictures of the city and surrounding areas.
After heading home for some rest and an easy dinner of pizza (Pam and I went to Costco to pick it up) we just prepared for Sunday. The one thing J. keeps asking for is a set of Moose Antlers, so we did some research on that as well. Thanks to Big L, we had some leads on where to get them.
So far no Moose sighting though....
